Understanding User Roles & Groups

Updated 5/4/2026

Users

Registered users on your site are assigned specific roles that determine their capabilities. These roles define the actions they can take on your website.

By default, there are five available user roles when your site is created.

  1. Administrator
  2. Board
  3. Editor
  4. Resident (Owner)
  5. Renter

Groups

The groups feature allows you to extend the capabilities of the pre-defined user roles. Groups can be used as social groups or profile types to control access to various parts of your site.
